Blorge is watching the move by iTunes to give iTunes attitude with a push from the many music labels like EMI, Sony, Warner and many more to implement an adaptive pricing policy that can have you getting a hot new song for as much as a $1.50. That’s what the proposal was for they were trying to find a way of getting more cash from the ever popular store where Apple has been getting tons of cash and of course, they say they should be getting their fair share.
The move has dissuaded many from downloading music for the pro-rated pricing of music download prices add to that the current recession and well you know the outcome. Just wish they could do simple math so people can continue to enjoy legal music which should have been a solution to their DRM issues and many other failures to breathe new life into the music industry. Nice Goin’ People!
Also on Blorge and anywhere else on the planet for that matter, the record setting iTunes apps store is selling hotter than pancakes at more than 1,000 apps sales for every 12 seconds the AppsStore is fast approaching it’s 1 billionth download, a record for the most application sales of an online store ever. Which goes to show the growing interest of the public in the iPhone and the iPod Touch, has out-paced, out-gunned and gone over any other site on the world, but that was kinda’ expected for the store is the only legal way to get stuff into your iPod and iPhone (legally we mean).
The online store has done this amazing task in more or less two months which has prompted the company to advertise a rewards promo which is open to any country that allows you to purchase from the iTunes store and you only need to be 14 to qualify (you get to win a $10,000 worth of iTunes in the form of a gift card, an iPod Touch, a Macbook Pro and a Time Capsule). Goes to show that if you can’t beat the computing giants, you just outsell them in some other way, for they may have failed to beat the all popular PC with their Mac’s but they out did the industry in their own crafty and of course profitable way!
